Genesis 19:6 Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him 7 and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing.
Lot protected two angels of the Lord from being raped by the evil and perverted men of Sodom and Gomorrah. As a result of Lot’s efforts to protect them, Lot received forewarning of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (v. 13), Lot’s request was granted (v. 21), and Lot and his family were saved from destruction (v. 23).
We never know how much helping an individual may benefit our lives. God may bring us someone or put someone on our hearts that is in need of help. God may have us babysit a couple’s child so that they can go on a romantic date, He may have us give a $20 tip on a $10 meal or, He may have us send an encouraging text message.
When we do whatever God places on our hearts, just know God has obligated Himself to bless us in return (Ephesians 6:8). Always remember, when we help someone, we’re showing the love of Christ, being lights of the world, and there is a benefit attached to our obedience.
